The owner of the Aquaglo Capri wishes to remain anonymous. I'll be bringing it to some confluences in the future so folks can see it in the wood.

Jim, the brown burst Capri is mine...I redid it back in '06. It's got birdseye maple veneer front and back, special binding on body, neck and headstock, and lots of other touches.

Welcome back Paul. It's good to see that you got home safely and obviously raring to go.

20 Cuban cigars help, too...

What a funny photo.

Welcome back, Paul !!

That Aquaglo Capri is gorgeous work !!!

I am envisioning a 4003 with CB and this color, gold guard and TRC.

I am dreaming of that color burst on a 12 string 360 with toasters, gold guards & TRC and v63 style knobs.

What he said!

Paul: Real corkers both of them.

What year is the Aqua Capri from?

JimK,

Paul did a similar burst on a customized 360/12V64 for me about two years ago. The project included three Toasters, checked binding, R Tailpiece, gold plastic, and black knobs.
